Memorial Day Service set at First Baptist Church

FITCHBURG -- The First Baptist Church of Fitchburg, 1400 John Fitch Highway, will hold a combined Pentecost and Memorial Day Service at 10:30 a.m. Sunday.

The service will honor veterans with prayers, patriotic music and the history of "Taps" (the tune played to end the military day and for military funerals) read by veteran and member John Farmer.

Jordan Daigle will perform "If My People will Pray, God will Heal Their Land." The flag will be saluted. Congregational hymns will be "My Country 'Tis of Thee," "America the Beautiful," and "Let There Be Peace on Earth."

The organ prelude will be songs remembering our country. The postlude will be "God Bless America."

To celebrate the First Sunday of Pentecost, the Rev. Dr. Jean Wright will bring the message "Jesus' Last Will and Testamant" using scripture selections from John 15 and 16.

Immediately following the service a special church meeting will be held.
